What is allowable in spring sag? My springs are sagging here and there. At what point should they be replaced?

Re: Allowable Suspension Sag
I think ride height is a personal preference. Some may be okay with 1-2" when others want the back to be higher. You could also throw a 1" block under your springs to avoid having to buy new leafs for awhile.SOLD: 1975 Ford Bronco: 105" wheelbase, King 14" c/o shocks, King 2" air bumps w/ Duff arms, 4 link rear w/ coils.

Re: Allowable Suspension Sag
if the springs were both sagging evenly it would not be an issue. i think one side has sagged more then the other, thus making the front lean. I know that WH had some issues with their springs sagging and was wondering if mine bad.1968, 69 351W,NP 435, Stak 5.22, D44 with 4.10's, chebby discs and a detroit, 9" with 4.11's and a lockright. 35" MTR's, TRO, WH cage, ps, pb, 3.5" susp, 2" body lifts, pile of parts in the garage, empty wallet!Comment

Re: Allowable Suspension Sag
Sagging left to right sucks.
Are you sure its not the shackles being over tight, or bend body bushing?
Mine sagged about 1 inch to the driver side for about a year, I swapped the springs side to side, and in about 1 month the both sagged the same.Mark Harris

Re: Allowable Suspension Sag
i will have to recheck everything again to see if I can find out where it is sagging. It may be body bushings as they are old. the rear leafs are 4 or 5 years old as well as the deaver coils.1968, 69 351W,NP 435, Stak 5.22, D44 with 4.10's, chebby discs and a detroit, 9" with 4.11's and a lockright. 35" MTR's, TRO, WH cage, ps, pb, 3.5" susp, 2" body lifts, pile of parts in the garage, empty wallet!Comment
